I never should have given him the time of day.I should have glared at him good when he looked my way.Instead like any bloody fool, I lost my head.I fell for the sound of the words he said.And the dreams I had,The beliefs I held,I almost lost ‘em allTo the way my heart swelled when he smiled -

And for a while,I’d almost forgetThat when you’re courting trouble,You’re asking for regret.‘Cause when he held me ‘til morning,The troubles felt so small.Perspective went away.God! What a close call!

You live and learnOr the fault’s your own.So I’ll take a breath,And I’ll dry my eyes,And I’ll turn my heart to stone.

I’ll learn to live my life alone.No other man ever moved me.Now no man ever will.‘Cause if I ever did feel something close to love,I’ll never tell.No one will knowI almost fell.
